Comprehensive addiction recovery where you can be your authentic self. Expert LGBTQ+ affirming care combining evidence-based treatment, trauma-informed therapy, and genuine peer support at Orange County’s most trusted LGBTQ-friendly facility.
When you’re part of the LGBTQ+ community and struggling with substance use, finding the right addiction treatment center can feel overwhelming. You need more than just clinical expertise—you need a place where you can be your authentic self without fear of judgment or discrimination. That’s exactly what Asana Recovery provides as Orange County’s premier LGBTQ addiction treatment facility.
Recent studies show that LGBTQ+ individuals are twice as likely to experience substance use disorders compared to their heterosexual counterparts, with rates reaching up to 25% in some communities. These statistics aren’t just numbers—they represent real people facing unique challenges that require specialized, culturally competent care.
It starts with our people. Many of our staff members are LGBTQ+ themselves or have extensive experience working with LGBTQ+ populations. We don’t just tolerate diversity—we celebrate it.
The numbers tell a sobering story about addiction in the LGBTQ+ community. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), lesbian, gay, and bisexual adults are more than twice as likely to have a substance use disorder compared to heterosexual adults. Transgender individuals face even higher risks, with some studies indicating substance abuse rates as high as 30%.
These elevated rates aren’t coincidental—they’re the direct result of minority stress, discrimination, and systemic challenges that LGBTQ+ Americans face daily. When you’re dealing with family rejection, workplace discrimination, or internalized shame about your identity, substances can seem like a temporary escape from emotional pain.
Our gender-specific rehab programs recognize that men, women, and non-binary individuals may have different needs in recovery. For transgender clients, we work individually to determine the most appropriate program placement based on their gender identity and comfort level.
Transgender individuals face unique challenges that require specialized understanding. Our transgender substance abuse treatment addresses:
Our trauma-informed LGBTQ addiction therapy recognizes that many clients have experienced various forms of trauma related to their identity. We use evidence-based trauma therapies like EMDR and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, adapted to address identity-specific trauma.
Our inpatient LGBTQ+ SUD treatment programs provide 24/7 support in a residential setting that feels more like a home than a hospital. Located minutes from Orange County’s beautiful beaches, our facilities offer a serene environment for healing while maintaining clinical excellence.
Our outpatient programs provide flexibility while maintaining specialized focus on LGBTQ+ issues. Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) allow you to maintain work, school, or family responsibilities while receiving comprehensive LGBTQ drug rehab Orange County services.
Women who love women face particular challenges in recovery. Our lesbian and bisexual substance abuse support groups provide a space to explore these issues with others who understand, covering topics like healthy relationship patterns, building sober social networks, and addressing internalized bias.
Completing addiction treatment is just the beginning of your recovery journey. Many LGBTQ+ individuals benefit from transitional housing that provides ongoing support while they rebuild their lives. That’s why we partner with specialized LGBTQ+ sober living in Orange County to ensure you have access to affirming, supportive housing options.

Asana Recovery
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
